FEDS USE TRAGIC KILLING TO BUTTRESS PHONY CLAIMS

The feds are trying to buttress the phony claims of Mexican president Calderon, the U.S. State Department, ATF and the FBI that 90 percent of the guns used by the drug cartels were obtained by ‘straw buyers’ from gun dealers and gun shows north of the border. This gun doesn’t prove that by any stretch of the imagination. Shame on them for capitalizing on the tragic death of Jaime Zapata.

The gun used to kill a federal agent in Mexico on Feb. 15 was purchased legally from a company in Joshua, according to information released by federal officials Tuesday.

It’s “a horrible, tragic thing,” says Jim Terrill, whose business, Off-Duty Armory, sold a Romanian-made Draco 7-62 at a Fort Worth gun show last October.

Federal officials now say it was one of three weapons used in the ambush killing of U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jaime Zapata and the wounding of his co-worker last month in Mexico.

Terrill said he had no way of knowing it could later be passed on to someone affiliated with a drug cartel to kill a federal officer.
